Skeem Saam Drama: Fans React To Lehasa's Cheating Storyline

• Viewers of the hit SABC1 series Skeem Saam are up in arms after their favorite character, Lehasa Maphosa, started flirting with Dr. Blue while still engaged to Pretty.
• Lehasa, played by Cedric Fourie, is currently serving time in prison for murder and theft but hasn't let that stop him from finding new love interests.
• Fans have taken to social media to criticize the writers, questioning the direction of the storyline and its impact on one of the show's most beloved couples.

Let me tell you, folks, the fans of SABC1's Skeem Saam are not holding back their opinions this week. The writers seem to have thrown a major curveball at the audience by changing the dynamic between Lehasa Maphosa and Pretty Seakamela. Fans who were rooting for the couple are now left scratching their heads over this unexpected twist.

In the latest episodes, Lehasa, who is behind bars for his crimes, has been caught flirting with Dr. Blue. This is a far cry from the man who not only proposed to Pretty but also saw his uncle, Phomolo, pay lobola for her. It seems like love and commitment are taking a backseat to drama in this season.

This sudden shift in character has not gone unnoticed by the show's loyal fanbase. Many have taken to X (formerly known as Twitter) to voice their disappointment over the writers' decision to make Lehasa stray from his relationship with Pretty. The fans feel like the writers are pushing the boundaries too far and ruining what was once a heartwarming storyline.
